Ferrum phos (iron phosphate)
What do you say about a remedy whose main characteristic is lack of characteristics?  Extremely useful!
    Iron phosphate is crucial for strong oxygen carrying blood cells. So the homeopathic remedy helps the body maintain well equipped blood cells in the face of many stresses, including fevers, inflammations, injuries, blood loss, “local congestions”, etc., especially if the sufferer is pale, but flushes easily, looks anemic and has general fatigue. It does its best work in the first stage of inflammation of all types–turning around a child’s sudden fever, discouraging ear pains from becoming earaches or cutting off colds before they fully develop. Whenever symptoms like redness, heat, throbbing or fever, suggest acute inflammation (sore red throat, toothache, red eye, ear pain, common colds, skin eruptions, etc.), Ferr phos helps the body make the blood do its job and fix the problem quickly. 
    Ferr phos does have a few more specific applications. The shooting or throbbing headaches it relieves are better with an ice pack, especially if sun induced. Stiff inflamed joints can benefit, especially if only one joint tends to be irritated at a time. If the inflammation is in the right shoulder joint with pains that extend through the arm or chest, Ferrum phos can be particularly beneficial. Stomachs that vomit undigested food can appreciate Ferrum phos as can certain cases of bedwetting and incontinence.
   Ferrum phos can be a gentle restorative after blood loss from injuries, nosebleeds, bruises, dental work, surgeries or menstrual cycles. Pale young girls often bounce back quickly under its care.
    Cases needing Ferrum phos’ care most, catch cold easily and tend to be pale, but flush easily. Nervous, sensitive, timid individuals may find extra strength in this gentle, friendly cell salt. When symptoms are scarce but something is not right, it’s nice to know you can always turn to this remedy for safe, simple, worry free support.
